It is true the H-1B cannot start until October 1. You will not be able to extend your ability to work in the U.S. because your OPT expires before April 1, the filing date of the H-1B. However, you can remain in the U.S. in F-1 status under Cap Gap until October 1 because your grace period will extend beyond April 1 (http://www.visapro.com/video/f1-opt-to-h1b.asp).Originally posted by tanzir71 View PostComment
